SHOK Zappy with Comfort Backrest Seat
Compact 48V mobility with added backrest comfort
The SHOK Zappy with Comfort Backrest Seat combines the compact step-through Zappy platform with a padded backrest for riders who prefer more support while seated. Its 48V 500W front hub motor and 48V 12Ah sealed lead-acid battery system deliver smooth, useful power with three selectable speed settings, reverse and an estimated range of up to 40 km (24.9 miles) under favourable conditions.
The height-adjustable seat helps reduce the amount of knee bend needed when sitting down or standing up. A large 16 x 2.50 pneumatic front tire and two 12 1/2 x 2 1/4 pneumatic rear tires give the Zappy a substantial rolling footprint for maintained outdoor surfaces. The three-wheel layout keeps the machine narrow and manoeuvrable while leaving an open area between the seat and handlebar stem.
The keyed control system includes three speed settings, forward and reverse, an LED display, twist-style throttle, horn and front LED headlight. A hand-operated front drum brake provides familiar bicycle-style control. Full front and rear fenders help contain road spray and debris, and the steel frame provides a solid base for everyday use.
The handlebar stem folds down to reduce the storage height. This is a fold-down stem design, not a complete folding chassis. At approximately 50 kg assembled, use a suitable loading ramp, lift or two-person lift for vehicle transport.
Why Choose the SHOK Zappy?
- 48V 500W front hub motor: Solid, responsive drive performance in a compact three-wheel platform.
- Three selectable speed settings: Lets the rider match the pace to the space, surface and experience level.
- Comfort Backrest Seat: A padded backrest provides a more supportive seating choice than the compact saddle.
- Large pneumatic tires: A 16-inch front tire and 12.5-inch rear tires add useful rollover and tire cushioning on maintained surfaces.
- Open step-through frame: Easy to approach without swinging a leg over a high centre frame.
- Forward and reverse: Practical manoeuvring for garages, yards, venues and other suitable spaces.
- Fold-down handlebar stem: Reduces the scooter's stored height for a garage, trailer or suitable vehicle.
Seat choice: Choose the Comfort Backrest Seat when a padded backrest is preferred for longer seated use. Choose the Compact Padded Saddle for a lower-profile, open riding position.

Operating note: The Zappy is a higher-speed seated electric scooter. Begin in the lowest speed setting, reduce speed well before every turn and never turn sharply at speed. Range, speed, climbing ability and stopping distance vary with total load, grade, traction, temperature, battery charge and condition, tire pressure and driving style.
Where to ride: Check the rules that apply before operating on roads, sidewalks, pathways or other public property. Wear appropriate protective equipment for the location and speed. Avoid wet, loose, icy, heavily rutted or side-sloped surfaces.
